Weekly Planner and Notebook by Leuchtturm 1917 - Evaluation Report
A new addition to the stationery collection of many organisational enthusiasts is the Leuchtturm 1917 Weekly Planner and Notebook. One such individual, who prefers to remain anonymous, has recently purchased this versatile planner and is eager to share how they plan to customise it for their personal use.
The planner boasts a monthly overview, similar to a traditional calendar, and a weekly view with a note page on the right. The author intends to utilise the weekly view for day-specific tasks on the right and appointments on the left, transforming it into a comprehensive scheduling tool.
However, the author has no plans to use the planner as a project planner, instead opting to use it as a habit tracker. Long-term collections they frequently reference will replace the international holidays spread. The author may also use the blank pages at the back of the notebook for shopping references, including store names and discount codes.
The planner includes an address book section in the back, which the author may use for shopping references as well. The author opted for a hardback cover due to rough handling, ensuring the planner can withstand daily use.
The Leuchtturm 1917 Weekly Planner has a minimal layout, perfect for writing notes and to-do lists. The author plans to use the note page in the planner for a rapid log of thoughts and to-dos each day. The planner also includes a year-at-a-glance page for the current, following, and next year, providing ample space for long-term planning.
In addition to its practical uses, the planner offers opportunities for personalisation and creativity. Custom embossing or stickers can be used to reflect the author's unique style or to mark the planner specifically for their needs. The weekly layout can be adapted for goal tracking, habit monitoring, doodling, or even pasting inspirational images or quotes.
The author plans to use the planner for the next 18 months instead of their bullet journal, embracing the flexibility and customisation options it offers. By combining customisation, creative use of the weekly/note pages, and selecting ideal formats and paper, the Leuchtturm 1917 Weekly Planner and Notebook becomes a highly personalised tool for productivity and self-expression.
Despite its many advantages, the author is unsure if the note pages provided will be enough for their needs and may require an additional notebook. Nevertheless, the Leuchtturm 1917 Weekly Planner and Notebook offers a versatile solution for those seeking a balance between organisation and creativity.
The author intends to use the blank pages at the back of the Leuchtturm 1917 Weekly Planner for shopping references, incorporating store names and discount codes into their lifestyle organization. While personalizing the planner with custom embossing or stickers to reflect their fashion-and-beauty and home-and-garden preferences, they may also use it as a food-and-drink diary, logging down recipes or restaurant reviews.
